For the non-biologists: Blood is mostly salt water. To the extent that if all blood in a body is replaced with salt water, the body can survive long enough to remake the missing components (this was confirmed by a very unethical science experiment on an animal). I doubt the students knew this, and if they didn’t, it adds an unintentional layer of brilliance to this story.
